Hospitals

Intended for both emergent and non-emergent use at all Hospitals, the Hospital Incident Command System or HICS is a comprehensive management tool based upon the Incident Command System (ICS). Emergency response plans which are based upon the Incident Command System share many organizational qualities with other ICS based plans. The commonalities shared between plans is a great attribute in times of crisis. This can bind hospitals and other emergency response organizations together.

The Tactron HICS system is a full line of well thought out and easily accessible titled workbooks that are stored in a handy carrying case. The workbook is a zipper close canvas polyester padfolio that includes a white Deluxe vest with color coded binding around the edge. Each workbook also includes a laminated Job Action Sheet, a laminated organization chart, a notepad and a pen. Additional items such as position specific forms and laminated branch organization charts can be added. You create the kits that work for your individual organization using the HICS guidelines, or build them using your internal standard operating procedures. We will custom create the system that works for you.
